CF- Pat McCrory waged a strong campaign and made a good showing. He’ll hopefully be heard from again.

TC- He certainly did better than the previous Republican candidate.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but McCrory is apparently done with politics, per a promise he made to his wife prior to announcing for the governor's race.

It really is a shame. McCrory ran a very good campaign (though some will say he could have used a couple of negative ads there at the end). Any other year and McCrory would have won. John McCain lost the race, not McCrory.

Bush won the state by 12 last time. I agree with you that every single thing about the state campaign being equal those coattailes would have pulled him through.
